Self-Hosted GitHub runner on Azure Container Apps

Last week I have shown how to run Azure DevOps self-hosted agents on Azure Container Apps. Using KEDA with its built-in Azure Pipeline scaler it was relatively straightforward to spin up new replicas in Container Apps. You can read all about that process here. However, today I wanted to achieve the same for GitHub self-hosted… Continue reading Self-Hosted GitHub runner on Azure Container Apps

Self-Hosted Azure DevOps pool on Azure Container Apps

A while ago, I have worked with few of our customers, helping to build elastic self-hosted pool for their Azure DevOps pipeline agents based on Azure Kubernetes Service. You can read all about that journey here - where I have created a Kubernetes Controller that observes the Job queue of Azure DevOps for incoming pipeline… Continue reading Self-Hosted Azure DevOps pool on Azure Container Apps

Demystifying Azure Container Apps & Dapr – Part 4

Read Part 1 here. Read Part 2 here. Read Part 3 here. Last time, I wrote the backend service (JobListener) which gets triggered by the Dapr pubsub whenever an image is uploaded into the designated blob container in the storage account. It then uses Computer Vision APIs to do the image recognition. Today we will… Continue reading Demystifying Azure Container Apps & Dapr – Part 4

Demystifying Azure Container Apps & Dapr – Part 2

Part 1 of this article is here. Last time, I created an empty Azure Container Apps Environment using Bicep. I also created some required components like Key vaults, Log analytics workspace, Application Insights and Computer vision. Application Architecture Today I want to make progress on that. As I have briefly explained before, I want to… Continue reading Demystifying Azure Container Apps & Dapr – Part 2

Demystifying Azure Container Apps & Dapr – Part 1

I have played with Dapr on Kubernetes (AKS to be specific) before and loved it for its ability to simplify distributed applications development with out of the box binding, service to service communications, secret abstractions, actors and observabilities. I have previously worked with LinkerD and Istio as service mesh and ran workload in production, but… Continue reading Demystifying Azure Container Apps & Dapr – Part 1
